Current Engagements:

In view of
the significance of IP related issues to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and the fact that none of the
publications pertaining to SMEs by WIPO
have yet been translated into the Turkish language, a commitment to undertake
three particular publications has been deemed appropriate for a task that calls
for accuracy, reliability and responsibility. In selecting the publications,
existing resources and the potential for widespread dissemination of the
findings resulting from the completed translations have been instrumental.

IP Coordinator, with the assent and under the requisite
authority granted by the Chair of the Department of Management has submitted a formal
proposal and request to obtain the requisite rights to undertake the
translation and/or customisation of the following IP publications by the SMEs
Division of WIPO:

"Making
a Mark: An Introduction to Trademarks for Small and Medium-sized
Enterprises"

"Inventing
the Future: An Introduction to Patents for Small and Medium-sized
Enterprises"

"AStitch
in Time: Smart Useof IP by TextileCompanies"

Projected Commitments:

Courses shall be offered, in the academic year of 2008-2009, within the curricula of the Department of Management, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level by IP Coordinator in “Legal Aspects of Intellectual Property Management” to the university student body irrespective of the degree for which they are registered.

Notices/News:

Circular
from the President of the TPI to the Higher Educational Council for
dissemination among universities of a model developed and proposed by the
Institute for allocating increased weighting to patents as well as introducing

total points for academic appointment and promotion.
